When you are charged hourly rates, by your man and van or house removals company, they will never know exactly how long the move will take, bearing in mind you, are on an hourly rate. If your house removals company or man and van removals company estimates up to 7 hours to complete your move, at £100 per hour, for the two men, this would cost you £700 in total.

The total estimated cost of your house removal is at £700, which may sound like a good deal for your move, but what happens when you have a long distance removal and the vehicle is stuck in heavy traffic, in the middle of London or the motorway some where, extra fees will be added to the total of your move, which could increase dramatically depending on the circumstances of each and every move.

When moving locally or around the corner, many man and van and removal companies, that charge hourly rates, will tend to drag their feet and stop a lot, for tea breaks etc. Many moving companies, that charge hourly rates, will promise you the world and not deliver and that’s if they decide to even turn up, on the day of the move. This can be very annoying for people when moving home as they have set aside the exact amount of money, what they think their move is going to cost, but hourly rates has some thing hidden up its sleeves. Not to mention you will be charged for the hours your movers spend driving to your new destination. If their does happen to be an accident on the way to your new home, the clock will be counting and you will be charged, for this delay, by your moving company, even though it is not your fault and has nothing to do with the move it’s self.

A flat rate or a fixed price is by far the most best solution when moving a house, flat, mobile home, apartment or even bungalow, leaving the price open is not what you need when moving home to your new home location. Keeping customers in the dark, about the price of their move, is not how a professional house removals company operates, it’s business. In stead, when hiring a professional company that charges a flat rate or fixed price, will give you the exact price of your move. If the move goes on later than expected, you will not be charged, extra, fees for this.
